There's a guy near me who has a two stroke project bike, i'm guessing its a project 'cos all you can hear is the engine revving its nuts off for about 20 minutes then silence, it never seems to go anywhere, anyhoo, i'm standing with some neighbours who are moaning about the noise and the smoke and i'm telling them to be quite because i can't hear the bike, and when they see me sniffing the two stroke smoke they just look at me like i'm weird

Can't help with the noise and getting own back on your scummy neighbours, but I started my two stroke tonight in the back garden, so I could check for fuel leaks and warm it enough to set up the pilot air screw.

I didn't mind the noise but the smoke nearly gassed me and instead of wafting over the fence into the neighbours garden I just got fogged in a haze of blue and went back in the house absolutely reeking of oily smoke. It wasn't even pleasant like bonfire smoke either, so maybe eau d' Silkolene isn't as nice as I remember?

You're just getting old Was at the blue haze day at the ace cafe when a guy asked me with my Kr-1 and a bloke with an rgv 250 Suzuki to start our bikes up, after a few seconds breathing in the fumes he said mine was the better one! me and the rgv owner just looked at each other totally amazed

Reckon your right there tbh!
I used to ride strokers all day long and come home with my kit all stinky and think ahhh that's a sweet smell.
This time I shut my gear in the cupboard and opened a couple of new air fresheners.

Talking of getting own back on neighbours, I knew a guy at work who once overheard his neighbours talking to their friends about how much the bloke next door hates the smell of barbecues.

He waited until they were having a family barbecue one day, and filled up his strimmer with a really oily premix. Then started it up and placed it on his lawn near the fence. He went out for lunch, and when he came back the strimmer had run out of fuel and his neighbours had all gone indoors.
